If the BBC is that worried about saving money, they could just close BBC1 and 2 down after 2am rather than simply duplicate what their other channels are doing.
They couldn't completely close down like they used to in the old days without switching off the whole mux.

If you didn't mean that they should close down completely, simulcasting this sort of material is more beneficial and just as cheap as showing a caption or the testcard!
